I like the day/night cycle, and the plant growth is neat. I was playing for a while and tried to figure out recipes but couldn't on my first life. After I died I clicked to restart the game and play again and I couldn't pick anything up after that. After I walked around and tried a bunch the game crashed, so I started over. I noticed that when playing my character changed from a guy to a girl character after playing for a bit. I kept trying to get "beef" so I could make the pizza recipe but the cows murdered me pretty good, so I tried a different approach of just trying to gather random ingredients and throw them in the cooking pot but I guess I got unlucky and got some fails. 

The game kept crashing on me after that but there are some cool ideas here. I was definitely excited to try it out after seeing the game in the Discord.

Thank you for the feedback! Can you please share what message you got when the game crashed, because that would help me troubleshoot?

I have uploaded version 1.1 which should fix the above crash.
